Selling Sunset Season 9 came out on Netflix on October 29, 2025. Fans were excited to see new luxury homes and office drama. But the person who ended up getting the most attention was Emma Hernan’s boyfriend Blake Davis. He is a 28 year old from Florida. He joined the show as Emma’s love interest. Very quickly he became one of the most talked about people on the season. People were fascinated by his huge wealth, his unusual habits, and his fights with other cast members.
Many viewers wanted to know how rich Blake actually is. Reports say his net worth is around USD 5 billion. That puts him in the category that even the cast jokingly calls very very rich. Blake comes from a family that has been in real estate for generations. He runs his own company called Blake Davis Properties. His business focuses on building and investing in large apartment projects across the United States. His own website says he works on buying unused land, giving hard money loans, and partnering with others for big real estate deals.
His lifestyle online matches his wealth. Blake often posts photos of himself on yachts, wearing luxury watches, and traveling to expensive holiday spots. His company biography even says he collects art, rare documents, and timepieces. It also claims he owns more than one thousand watches from fifty luxury brands. In his free time he stays on his one hundred and thirty foot yacht named Trust Fun or relaxes at one of his private homes. Emma once mentioned that his father helped invent microwave popcorn, but this has never been proven.
Blake and Emma’s relationship started professionally. She first introduced him as a client on the show. Later she confirmed that they had dated on and off. Before Season 9 aired, Emma told US Weekly that producers asked her to talk about her personal life for the show. She explained that some things she said were presented differently on screen. On the show she described Blake as fun and family oriented. She also said he was someone she kept returning to. The cast was shocked when Blake claimed he never ate fruits or vegetables. Emma explained that he was a real estate heir and that the popcorn story came from his family history, even though the real wealth came from their property business.
Not everyone liked Blake. Chrishell Stause had a problem with him from the beginning. She said he acted controlling and obsessive. Things got worse when Chrishell posted on Instagram that Blake made offensive comments about her. She even said he used racial insults and called her a MAGA boyfriend. Blake denied all of this in an interview with the Daily Mail. He said he had only seen Chrishell a few times and they never talked about politics. Cosmopolitan reported that he even asked his followers if he should take legal action against her for defamation.
